I suggested that earlier too. It might be all for naught, but at least it's something. And who knows, since it's Variety, studio people are bound to read the comments.

I submitted a comment yesterday that never showed up, and I know of someone else who did the same. I swear, it wasn't long or ranting in any way.
 
same thing happened to me actually. I think their servers were wonky yesterday. I posted again today, and it went through right away. You should try again! It doesn't hurt to have more support for Welling at Variety. He's already drumming up a lot of it as it is. Who knows? Maybe WB will listen if enough people make a stink about not casting Welling!
 
Holy snap. There's something about that picture...a certain intensity and "grr, man"-liness that I don't think I've seen from Welling.

LOL... Have you seen many candid pics of Tom? He can put on quite the Mr. Crankyface when he's not happy.

Auditions took place this past week for the "Justice League" project and notices mailed out have confirmed some details.

First up, shooting is slated to begin mid-February in Sydney, Australia and the shoot will run for approximately three to four months under the helm of the confirmed George Miller.

The production is currently based out of Seattle, and they are searching "for the 8-9 leads for this action feature film".

What do they require? "We are looking for Male actors 18-35 years old; Caucasian and Black. The primary focus should be to find Caucasian actors. There is 1 role for the Black Actor. We are looking for Female actors 20-32 years old; any ethnicity."

If this is true, there ends the Countdown lady's rumor that age was the reason Welling wasnt selected.

There were obviously other reasons.

I wouldn't mind if we got a black Superman but that's not because I'm black myself. :D I'd love it if he were black but the actor would have to look strong & be able to act.
 
Ryan Gosling says he'd make a laughable Batman

Ryan Gosling's name has come up as a rumored contender to play Batman in the 'Justice League' movie. However, Gosling seemed to downplay the idea while talking to MTV.

MTV did not ask Gosling about the rumor directly, but did pose the question of whether or not he'd be interested in doing a comic-book action movie.

"I never really read comic books actually, so it's not really a genre I'm familiar with. [But] I don't know if anyone would have me as a comic book hero. It's never really come across my path," was Gosling's initial response.

The MTV reporter then said he'd go see Gosling as Batman.

"Yeah, but you'd go for the wrong reasons. You'd ... watch me go play Batman and laugh."

So is Gosling a contender for the 'Justice League' movie? Who knows...but it sounds like he's not that interested in playing the Dark Knight on screen.

He ain't in it.
 
Are there any black actors out there that could play Superman?

Its not that there aren't any actors out there who are black that can't play Superman, its just after all these years of Superman looking a certain way, people will complain about it one way or another.

But Henry Simmons or Michael Jai White...
 
Technically, he is an alien which means he has no certain ethnicity. Btw, just because his skin color is white in the comics doesn't mean he can't be black in a movie adaptation.
